Vintage Textured Silver Cross Pendant Necklace

This item is a small religious pendant in the shape of a Latin cross, currently attached to a fine-link metallic chain. The pendant is crafted from a silver-toned metal, likely sterling silver or silver-plated base metal, and features a distinct pebbled or hammered texture across its entire front surface. The cross arms terminate in slightly flared or capped ends, adding a subtle decorative profile. The pendant measures approximately 1.5 to 2 centimeters in length. Regarding condition, the piece shows significant signs of age and wear; the metal exhibits a heavy dark patina and oxidation, particularly in the recessed areas of the texture and along the length of the chain. The chain itself appears tangled and displays a brownish tarnish, suggesting it may be a different metal composition than the pendant or is heavily oxidized. No maker's marks or hallmarks are immediately visible in the provided image, but the style is consistent with mid-20th-century religious devotional jewelry. The construction is solid but simple, indicating a mass-produced item intended for daily wear. The bail is a simple circular jump ring that appears securely attached to the top of the cross.
